im tired of living my ordinary life

sometimes i wish i was alone.

completely and utterly alone.

i wish i didn't have to worry about anyone or anything.

i want to be in charge of my own life.

as awful as it might sound i dont want to have a family.

i want to do what i want, when i want.

it seems nice, ya know?

not having to worry or fend for anyone but yourself?

no need to worry about grades because your parents wont yell at you.

i could go wherever i wanted, whenever i wanted.

i have this dumb fantasy...

that one day i will be in a cafe, snow falling outside.

i would be sitting at a little table, drinking a cup of tea, reading a book.

and a cute boy will come up to me and we would just start talking.

no worries, no family, just us, no one else.

i know, its dumb, but its just my mind.

i guess id like to imagine that if i didn't have a family i could do all of this.

its just that sometimes the people we really love are the ones who hold us back the most.

and im tired of being held back, im tired of living my ordinary life.

i hate watching these tv shows because it makes me sad.

all of these people have such interesting lives.

being bit by a wolf, dating someone who your parents disapprove of, going off to magical lands where you never grow up, shrinking to the size of a mouse, fighting bad guys and saving mankind...

it just seems like a live a normal life.

nothing ever happens and i feel like its because of my family.

they hold me back and prevent me from having fun, or seeking out adventure.

i want to live the life i want to live.

so im going to do dumb things, make mistakes, read, write, drink, go to parties and live my life. because im sick of people telling my how to live my life.
